Seite 205 - They who in folly or mere greed Enslaved religion, markets, laws, Borrow our language now and bid Us to speak up in freedom's cause. It is the logic of our times, No subject for immortal verse That we who lived by honest dreams Defend the bad against the worse.
Seite 124 - And how is it possible that a person confesses to crimes which he has not committed? Only in one way — because of application of physical methods of pressuring him, tortures, bringing him to a state of unconsciousness, deprivation of his judgment, taking away of his human dignity. In this manner were "confessions
Seite 245 - Oh hush thee, my baby, Thy cradle's in pawn: No blankets to cover thee Cold and forlorn. The stars in the bright sky Look down and are dumb At the heir of the ages Asleep in a slum. The hooters are blowing, No heed let him take; When baby is hungry Tis best not to wake. Thy mother is crying, Thy dad's on the dole: Two shillings a week is The price of a soul.
Seite 176 - With all their faults, the Communists perform necessary functions in the confused struggle of our time.

Seite 358 - I was an officer of that Administration and share with it the responsibility for what I am now convinced was a grave mistake and a failure to foresee consequences which were inevitable.
Seite 70 - But above all I should like to live long enough to see Russia's plan succeed and the states of Europe obliged to accept what they insisted on ignoring.
Seite 186 - I don't think it's any time for any group of spellbinders to lay down the law on any subject whatsoever. Particularly I don't think there should be any more phrases, badges, opinions, banners, imported from Russia or anywhere else. Ever since Columbus, imported systems have been the curse of this country. Why not develop our own brand...
Seite 228 - As I see him the utterly infinitesimal individual weaves among the mysteries a floss-like and wholly meaningless course — if course it be. In short I catch no meaning from all I have seen, and pass quite as I came, confused and dismayed.
Seite 115 - There are periodical waves of terror, sometimes the "liquidation" of kulaks or Nepmen, sometimes some monstrous state trial at which people who have been in prison for months or years are suddenly dragged forth to make incredible confessions, while their children publish articles in the newspapers saying "I repudiate my father as a Trotskyist serpent.
